Tip of the Day
Special Characters
Have you been trying to figure out how you can make certain special characters with your computer keyboard? You know, like a cent sign or maybe a a registered trademark sign (the R with a circle around it). Both of those are really pretty easy, but isn't anything if you know how? Let's do the cent sign first. If you need to add the cent sign into any document or project you're working on, simply hold down the Alt key on your keyboard and type in the numbers 0162. This is what you'll get: ¢ Pretty Nifty - Look below for even more characters you can try:
® = Alt + 0174
© = Alt + 0169
™ = Alt + 0153
¥ = Alt + 0165
Those are just a few you can do with the Alt key and a number code. Keep in mind that when you're doing this, you must use the number pad on the right hand side of your keyboard. It won't work if you use the numbers located above the letters.
A good reference web page that contains the coding for all HTML characters can be found at:
http://www.tntluoma.com/sidebars/codes/ - if you wish to use them from your keyboard in non-HTML documents such as email - where there is an & sign that would translate into holding down the Alt Key. The # sign would equal a zero - 0So - if for example you wanted a paragraph sign -¶ it would be listed as - ¶ - what you use is
ALT + 018211/13 Bob

Today's Highlight in History
The original superhighway opens
On this date in 1940, the Pennsylvania Turnpike, America's first example of a toll superhighway, officially opened for service. The year before, this new form of superhighway was featured at the 1939 New York City's World Fair, and was greeted by skepticism by many groups who doubted the merits of the extravagant project.
Inspired by Germany's 100mph autobahns, the Pennsylvania Turnpike was constructed at great expense to serve the needs of its users, leveling any terrain obstructions that hindered efficient travel along the limited-access superhighway. For a three-hour reduction of travel time between Pittsburgh and Harrisburg, the turnpike asked travelers to pay tolls, creating revenues that helped cover the turnpike's high construction and maintenance costs.
Despite worries about the $70 million price tag of this unproven type of highway, the Pennsylvania Turnpike proved a huge success, hosting an average of over 2,000,000 vehicles every year--a figure nearly twice the original estimate by its planners

Hey bleephole - I read your stupid article on email about being rude. I can send out my email anyway I want! If you don't like, shove it yur bleep.

Raakin - my first bit of advice is to learn how to spell the State that you live in. Since this Ezine goes out to a wide audience, I substituted the words you used with "bleep." I have always wondered why people might use language like that when sending an email. Is it the anonymity of the web? You should never use language that you wouldn't use in front of your family. Or do you?
An honest criticism is always welcome. But, as every one has, there are tools to prevent the receipt of email from miscreants like you. First I put a filter in my email to send anything sent from you to my Trash, sight unseen. Secondly, I put a permanent block on email I send out - so this is the last you will hear from me. Third, you had an ad on our website which has been removed. I certainly don't want our subscribers to think I recommend doing business with the likes of you.
I didn't take the fourth step which was to send a complaint to your ISP, and the Affliate Program you represent. Read your "Terms of Service Agreement" of both, which you had to accept when you signed up with them. Language like that contained in your email is specifically prohibited and is cause for cancellation. Why didn't I take this step? Simple - my business is to help people - not harm them.
Hopefully you will learn something from this. I looked up the name Raakin on the web, and do you know (or care) what it means? It means "Respectful." If you don't believe me look it up at: http://www.islamicity.com/Culture/Names/default.htm

Mistakes Are a Necessary Component for Getting Results by Sandy Karn
I don't know of anyone who ever made it big in their field who got there WITHOUT making mistakes. Mistakes are a natural part of the success process. Mistakes are what give you your answers on what won't work so you can discover what will work. Edision had several thousand mistakes before he discovered what made the light bulb work. Firestone made many mistakes when he was trying to find the right combination to make the best kind of rubber for making tires. Henry Ford did not get the first car manufactured without a truckload of mistakes.
So, I ask you, why do you worry or get upset about the mistakes you make? Aren't they, in reality, the journey that has to be traveled to get there? Since that IS the case, don't waste any more energy on being upset about making mistakes.
When they happen, ask yourself this question, "What can I learn from this experience?" If that is your only focus, you WILL get an answer and the answer is what you want to keep things moving forward. Being upset about it for even a second takes your mind off the end results and can only delay things.
This is a tough one for me too, but learning how to surrender to the realities in your life moment to moment instead of hour to hour, day to day, month to month, or year to year or years to years is the lesson of truth we each need to get. There it is!! That's how life remains magnificent!
Wishing You the Very Best!

A Little Humor to Start the WeekCelebrate
=-=-=-=-=A young monk arrives at the monastery. He is assigned to helping the other monks in copying the old canons and laws of the church by hand.
He notices, however, that all of the monks are copying from copies, not from the original manuscript. So, the new monk goes to the head abbot to question this, pointing out that if someone made even a small error in the first copy, it would never be picked up! In fact, that error would be continued in all of the subsequent copies.
The head monk, says, "We have been copying from the copies for centuries, but you make a good point, my son."
He goes down into the dark caves underneath the monastery where the original manuscripts are held as archives in a locked vault that hasn't been opened for hundreds of years. Hours go by and nobody sees the old abbot.
So, the young monk gets worried and goes down to look for him. He sees him banging his head against the wall and wailing - "We missed the R! We missed the R! We missed the R!
His forehead is all bloody and bruised and he is crying uncontrollably. The young monk asks the old abbot, "What's wrong, father?"
With A choking voice, the old abbot replies,
"The word was...
CELEB R ATE!!!

The tax accountant had just read the story of Cinderella to his four-year-old daughter for the first time. The little girl was fascinated by the story, especially the part where the pumpkin turns into a golden coach.
Suddenly she piped up, "Daddy, when the pumpkin turned into a golden coach, would that be classed as income or a long-term capital gain?"

We went to see a movie the other night. I sat in an aisle seat as I usually do because it feels a little roomier. Just as the feature was about to start, a blonde from the center of the row got up and started working her way out.
"Excuse me, sorry, oops, excuse me, pardon me, gotta hurry, oops, excuse me."
By the time she got to me, I was trying to look around her and I was a little impatient, so I said, "Couldn't you have done this a little earlier?"
"No!" she said in a loud whisper."The 'TURN OFF YOUR CELL PHONE PLEASE' message just flashed up on the screen and mine is in the car."

An old man strode in to his doctors office and said, "Doc, my druggist said to tell you to change my prescription and to check the prescription you've been giving to Mrs. Smith."
"Oh, he did, did he?" the doctor shot back. "And since when does a druggist second guess a doctor's orders?"
The old man says, "Since he found out I've been on birth control pills since February."

Solution for the Riddle
Once the water is boiling, turn the three-minute timer and five-minute timer over. When the three-minute timer runs out, put the egg in the boiling water. When the five-minute timer runs out, two minutes have elapsed and it is time take the egg out of the water. You don't need the four-minute timer for this riddle.
Don't worry about avoiding temptation .
As you grow older, it will avoid you.
